Wild World of Nicolas Cage: Naked Fudgesicle Man Latest in Long List of Troubles

Nicolas Cage has revealed yet another strange occurrence in his personal life as he promotes his new movie, "Trespass" at the Toronto film festival. The thriller, which centers on a home invasion, triggered Cage to recall his own experience with an intruder.

"It was two in the morning. I was living in Orange County at the time and was asleep with my wife," Cage told reporters at the festival. "My two-year-old at the time was in another room. I opened my eyes and there was a naked man wearing my leather jacket eating a Fudgesicle in front of my bed."

"I know it sounds funny ... but it was horrifying." Cage didn't press charges against the man who left peacefully when police arrived.

Never a dull moment. Here's a look at Nicolas Cage's off-screen troubles.

1. Wild Weekend In New Orleans

In April 2011 Nicolas Cage reportedly went right back to work on his latest film "Medallion" after a weekend bender that could have been plucked out of Cage's Academy Award winning role in "Leaving Las Vegas." The actor was arrested in New Orleans for domestic abuse, disturbing the peace and public drunkenness, but the charges were eventually dropped.

According to police, Cage was heavily intoxicated and violent, arguing with his wife, Alice Kim, in a tattoo parlor and on the street. Later, he punched a few cars. "He was running around and screaming in the street," a bartender at Harry's Corner in New Orleans told People magazine.

In late 2009, the federal government placed a tax lien on Cage's real-estate holdings, including an additional $6.7 million from 2008, according to reports.

Cage has admitted to owning the IRS a total of $14 million and has said that he is taking steps to repay the IRS, starting with switching business managers.

"Everybody makes mistakes. It's part of being human," Cage said on "Good Morning America" recently. "Some people say you have to be a sinner before you can be a saint," Cage said.

4. Movie Rut

Cage has been praised for his wrenching portrayal as a suicidal alcoholic in "Leaving Las Vegas" and his performance in "Adaptation" among other roles, but he has also been panned for big budget movies that may only be considered a good idea by the IRS. One of his recent flops was "Drive Angry 3D," where he plays a guy who departs hell to find the Satanist that killed his child.

5. Tripping With His Cat

He said that after a daylong staring contest with the cat he "had no doubt that he was my brother."

Cage is no stranger to drugs.

He's admitted to using drugs in his younger days. When promoting "Bad Lieutenant" in Australia, Cage told reporters that doctors there "still use cocaine to clear your sinuses."

According to OK! Magazine, Cage said he felt "invincible" and kept coming up with ideas after receiving the "cocaine solution" in his nose.

6. Marriages and Children

Cage has been married three times. An early relationship with model Christina Fulton, produced a son -- Weston Coppola Cage.

His first marriage to actress Patricia Arquette ended in 2000 and lasted five years, but divorce papers revealed the pair had only cohabited for the first nine months of their marriage.

Cage's second marriage to Lisa Marie Pressley only lasted four months.

His third marriage was to Alice Kim, who he met in 2004 when she waited on his table at a Los Angeles restaurant. The two have one child together-- a son named Kale-El which was Superman's name as a child.

7. Comic Book Geek- Voodoo in New Orleans

The comic, which has been authenticated, was stolen from Cage more than a decade ago, according to Detective Don Hrycyk with the Los Angeles Police Department's Art Theft Detail.

Cage accepted an insurance payout after the theft, so it is unclear if he will regain his missing comic.

Most people don't know that Cage is a huge fan of comic books. In fact, he has a tattoo of Ghost Rider on his arm and he developed a six-issue illustrated series called "Voodoo Child" with his son Weston. Set in New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina, the story focuses on a child who puts a voodoo curse on his soul before he is murdered by secessionist soldier.

8. We Have Cage to Thank for "The Goddesses"?

Cage was recently featured in Charlie Sheen's "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option" tour.

According to Sheen, Cage once helped him smuggle cocaine onto a plane and came up with the term "goddess." During his show in Columbus, Ohio, Sheen said: "We're at this after-party and Nic Cage is over at the corner and he's showing a girl his watch," Sheen explained. "It was dark, but I knew exactly what he was doing. He has his wrist down here ... So she just kind of pokes him in the chest and walks away. And his response was 'Well there goes a goddess, an absolute f***ing goddess.'"
